Re: [SR-Users] [newbie] questions

Come on, let's be reasonable here. People are very helpful here and do volunteer a great deal of time to help others solve their problems, but ultimately, people have jobs and there are only so many hours in the day. I agree that the original post is well-thought out, extensive and structured, and certainly more precise and articulate than most of the "tell me everything I need to know!" posts we get here. And certainly, that does not go unnoticed or unappreciated. Nevertheless, to give proper treatment to all the questions posed, and to do so in a way that adequately resolves the conceptual dependencies on which a thorough, applied understanding of the answers is predicated, requires a magisterial compendium that is just not economical to provide. You can go to a programming Q&A forum, for example, and ask specific questions about a piece of code, even elaborate ones, with many dependent clauses. But you can't realistically expect an answer if you show up and say: "Teach me how to program, and furthermore, upon doing so, teach me exactly how to implement this set of [non-trivial] desiderata". That would suggest a certain lack of pragmatism, or at the very least, experience with such forums. -- Alex Balashov - Principal Evariste Systems LLC 260 Peachtree Street NW Suite 2200 Atlanta, GA 30303 Tel: +1-678-954-0670 Fax: +1-404-961-1892 Web: http://www.evaristesys.com/, http://www.alexbalashov.com/
